pike_boy Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 they are white and very small Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 and there is a lot of them Link to comment
Cesar Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 It could be salt residue. Im not sure but I dont think that Ick can be seen on glass, only on fish. Does the white little things move? Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 yes they can swim but i mean they are really small and there is a lot of them Link to comment
Cesar Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Oh they might be pods. They are a good thing. Fish like to eat them. I believe that's what they call them mini pods or something like that. They are beneficial. Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 well will they go away after a period of time Link to comment
bladze Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 pods. it is normal. don't get rid of them. the sign of a healthy tank. Link to comment
Cesar Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 yeah they go away probably because your fish are having some nice breakfast dude, hahaha. That's a good sign. Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 ok thanks....anyone else got suggestions Link to comment
Wobach Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Suggestions? id leave them, pods are good... u wanna havea family of bristleworms round for tea and biscuits! Link to comment
Pili4444 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 They are very good. people sometimes set up fuges just so that they can have more pods in their main tank. Link to comment
alemap65 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Sounds like "Flat Worms" Link to comment
alemap65 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Here is a link on Flatworms http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...ight=flat+worms My understanding is that they can eventually over take your tank if not removed or treated. Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 no they arent flatworms Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Are they stuck to the glass in a little spiral? Link to comment
pike_boy Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 nope they arent, they can move around in the water Link to comment
